J. H. VAN DORN'S PATENT WROUGHT IRON FENCING, 



Designed especially to enclose Private Residences, Parks, Lawns, Public Buildings, Etc. 



TO THE PUBLIC 



A 



A* 






We beg to call your attention to our WROUGHT IRON FENCING, believing that it is unsurpassed in Style, Construction, 
Durability aud Price, and that buyers will subserve their interests in using it in place of wood to protect aud enclose Parks, Lawns, 
Residences, Public Buildings, etc. 

Over 1,000,000 feet have been made and sold in the past ten years, which is a popular endorsement that has determined beyond 
question its superior merit over all other makes. 

We are the sole manufacturers and patentees, and originated all the designs and patterns of iron fence that we furnish, and we 
sell either direct or through authorized agents, and where we have agencies established buyers will save time ami expense by dealing 
with them, and if not properly served report to us. 

We are located in a large iron manufacturing city, where we can obtain the lowest prices on our material, direct from the mills, 
without commission or freight, and we have also the advantage of competing freight lines to nearly all parts of the country, and we 
believe we can offer such inducements to buyers that they will order of us after a careful examination of our work. 

For further information see last pages. Correspondence solicited.

ISSUED 1872-75-7R-77-78. 
No. 1— Section of Picket. No. 3 -Top view of Rail, showing the manner of 
interlocking. No. 4— Side view of Picket Rail and Dog, showing the finish. 
No. 2— Malleable Dog. 

CONSTRUCTION,— At the intersection of the picket 
with the rail the corners of the former are reduced until the 
width of the diagonal (see No. 1) is reduced to the width of 
the square of the hole in the rail (see No. 3. ) The picket is 
passed through the square mortice as far as the reduced 
section and is then turned one quarter around (see No. 3) 
and is firmly held by inserting the legs of the collar (see No. 2) 
through the triangular spaces, as shown, (see No. 3 and 4) 
and clinched underneath the rail. The collar making a neat 
finish on the upper side of the rail; by this device a perfect 
and immovable joint is effected, and our Posts, Gates and 
Fence are consequently very rigid and substantial. 



We, the undersigned, have examined the Van Dorn manner of 
construction, as shown in annexed detail as applied to iron fencing 
and railings, gates, door and window guards, jail corridors, &c. , and 
find it a very valuable mechanical improvement, superior to anything we 
have examined for the purpose. It adds to the appearance as well as 
to the strength and durability of such work, and we cheerfully 
recommend it for general use.

Always send Number of Feet, Number of Gates, Height and Style, with Full Particulars, for Estimates. 

SIZE A is made of 7-16 square pickets % diagonal, placed about 4 inch centers, standard height 39 inches from ground. The 
parallel rails are %xlj£, and is a superior fence to any % round fence manufactured. It is designed especially to enclose Residences. 

SIZE B is made of 9-16 square pickets % diagonal, placed about 4 inch centers, standard height 43 inches from ground. The rails arc 
^xl^2, and is designed for Residences, Public Buildings, etc. It is superior in every way to a % round iron fence. 

SIZE C is made of % square pickets \% diagonal, placed from 4 to 5 inch centers, standard height 48 inches from ground. The rails 
are }{x2. This size is for very heavy work, and is only used for Public Buildings or large Public Parks or enclosures. Either size can be 
made 4 iDches higher than above specified. 

GATES we make very substantial and to match the style of fence ordered, the standard width being %% feet. Our Carriage Gates arc 
made double, standard width 10 feet. Our hinges and catches are put on in the most substantial shape. Our Entrance Gates are self-closing 
and are fitted up with brass lined hinges and catches. Gates cost more than Eence, and their number should be specified. 

POSTS. — Our gate and end posts are made of either cast or wrought iron and from 4 to 12 inches in diameter. We can use either style 
with any pattern of fence. The wrought iron are made square or octagon cluster patterns and are very neat and durable. Any post we 
make is sufficiently large to sustain the gates properly. 

SETTING UP.— Our work can be readily set up by a man who can set up posts plumb and level and straight, as no difficulty is met in 
making all connections, etc. We ship in panels of about 8 feet in length, thoroughly covered with one coat of paint of best quality, put 
on with a brush, and furnish a clear and explicit diagram or plan showing where each panel goes. There is positively no danger of 
breakage in shipment or use.

NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS. 



It is our highest ambition to jbe the best fence maker in the 
country, and during the past ten years we have bent every energy 
to that end, and the popularity of the Cleveland Wrought Iron 
Fence where introduced attests its superiority. We have not, as 
"have some makers, sacrificed a good thorough construction to 
cheapness alone, believing that a good, durable article is what is 
demanded, and not cheap claptrap. The correctness of this posi- 
tion is shown by our largely increased sales, which have nearly 
doubled annually, and we shall continue to make only the best 
goods. We beg the closest scrutiny to every detail of our fence, 
knowing that it will result in our receiving your orders. We 
show our "work in enlarged views, and also the construction in 
detail and specify sizes of iron and are pleased to give any addi- 
tional information, so that purchasers may know exactly what 
they are buying. 

Respectfully, 

J". ££. "V'-A.ltf" DOEDS".
